I become a big star after I sleep

Chapter 216 Snow

[Chao Qin Mu Chu] company.

meeting room.

Qin Muchu sat in the boss's seat in the middle of the conference table, listening to the company's employees making year-end summaries.

Well, the kind that simply listens without saying a word.

Originally, he didn't want to attend the meeting. The company's affairs were all handled by Zhao Mingyu, and he only needed to know the final result.

However, Zhao Mingyu said that the company has developed rapidly this year, with many new departments and managers, and they should be allowed to meet the boss.

"Currently the novels with the highest click-through rate on the Internet, as well as the copyrights of some popular physical novels, are basically all taken by us.

And in this regard, no company has yet realized the importance of these novel copyrights, they pay more attention to the novel copyrights of some traditional and serious literature, so the purchase is very smooth, and the price is relatively low..."

This is the director of the company's newly added [Copyright Operations Department]. This department is mainly responsible for the copyright operation of the company's works and the purchase of copyrights from outsiders.

For example, "The Gift of Room No. [-]" and "Star You", if others want to adapt and remake, or buy the right to broadcast, they are the ones to negotiate.

Another thing is to buy copyrights from outsiders. If Qin Muchu wants to adapt a certain novel into a movie, they will buy the copyrights of the novel.

Originally, there was no such department, because the company didn't have many copyrights to operate, except for two movies and some songs.

However, because the company purchased the copyrights of novels aggressively this year, it separated this department separately.

Zhao Mingyu nodded after listening to the report:
"Continue to acquire copyright next year."

At present, there is no benefit in copyright acquisition, only expenditure.

And with the number of copyrights currently acquired, even if Qin Muchu was filming all year round, it would be enough for him to film for decades.

But in the long run, if you hold the copyright, you can sell it to others even if you don’t shoot it yourself in the future.

Of course, the price will definitely not be the current price at that time.

Copyright awareness is still very weak in the current Chinese dynasty, but Zhao Mingyu, who came back from the United States, knows the importance of copyright.

Spend a little money now, and get big money later.

After the copyright operation department's report was over, Zhao Mingyu turned her attention to the next person, and the person she was watching immediately began to report.

"Mr. Zhao, my colleagues in the United States said today that it seems that Director Qin's movie is very popular, and many Americans lined up to watch it on weekends.

However, there are only a few small theaters showing this movie online. The theaters went from one movie a day to six or seven times a day. The supply is still in short supply, and many people can't afford tickets.

So at noon today, which is Sunday night in the United States, many large theaters in the United States have introduced Director Qin’s movie "When Happiness Knocks on the Door", including the largest Regal, AMC, Cinemark, etc. This week basically It can be released across North America. "

This is the department responsible for the release of "When Happiness Comes Knocking" in North America.

It is set up temporarily and disbanded when it is used up. It is nicknamed "condom" by other departments.

After the words were finished, all eyes of the audience turned to Qin Muchu who was in the first place, wanting to see his reaction.

There are not many Chinese movies that can be screened in North America. Many movies that are said to be released in North America are actually only shown in a few theaters in the United States. Some city cinemas do not have this movie at all.

For example, Zhang Yimou's "Golden Armor" is said to be released in North America, but in fact it is only shown in more than 60 theaters in North America.

The same is true for "When Happiness Comes Knocking", even worse, with only a dozen theaters showing it.

Because Lao Mouzi still has a "Hero" released in North America, and he is a well-known director in the world, so more than 60 theaters are willing to try the water.

If the box office is high, the film schedule will be increased, and the number of theaters will be increased. If the box office is low, the film will be dropped and people will leave.

And Qin Muchu's popularity is almost zero, and it is not bad to have more than a dozen theaters.

But now that the movie is actively introduced by North American theaters, it will be shown in thousands of theaters in North America starting this week.

Otherwise, it is impossible for the theater to show a movie that no one will watch, and delay their own money.

Facing everyone's eyes, Qin Muchu just looked down at the document in his hand, and wrote two strokes on it from time to time, with no expression on his face.

so calm?Not happy?

Honor or disgrace!Extraordinary bearing!
Similar thoughts flashed through everyone's hearts, and the image of the boss who had only seen it on TV was even taller in their minds.

And Zhao Mingyu, who was sitting first on Qin Muchu's left, glanced at what Qin Muchu had written, retracted his eyes and coughed:
"Continue meeting, next department."

……

Finally, after the meeting was over, Qin Muchu threw the paper that he had been writing during the entire meeting into the trash can in the meeting room.

Zhao Mingyu was next to her, her eyes twitched, and after Qin Muchu left, she calmly took out the paper, held it in her hand, and followed her out.

After the two bosses left, the high-level participants left the meeting, but they were all curious about what Qin Muchu wrote, and after throwing it away, Mr. Zhao picked it up.

Is it a company secret?
Just as they were brainstorming curiously, Zhao Mingyu, who had picked up the paper, went out of the meeting room and inserted the paper into a passing shredder.

Before it shattered, you could faintly see that it was covered with a nine-square grid, and there were "×" and "o" in the grid...

CEO's office.

"Director Qin, "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" seems to have received a good response in North America. Do you need to pay attention?"

Knowing that Qin Muchu was busy with "gaming" and didn't listen to the content of the meeting at all, Zhao Mingyu asked about the content of the meeting about movies that Qin Muchu might be interested in.

And Qin Muchu, who played the "circle cross game" for two hours, came to the conclusion that it was impossible to tell the winner if he played this game with himself.

Hearing Zhao Mingyu's question, he raised his head blankly:
"Oh, that's good. It's been on for three days. Has the box office come out yet?"

"The first weekend's box office was 80 US dollars, but only a dozen theaters were showing it. This week, the number of theaters will increase, and it should continue to rise." Zhao Mingyu replied.

It is not easy to get a box office of 80 US dollars in three days after it was released in more than a dozen theaters.

This means that these dozen theaters are almost full to achieve such results.

But when Qin Muchu heard that the box office was only US$80 in the first weekend, he lost interest in continuing to listen.

In the U.S., blockbuster movies are generally released on Fridays, and the first weekend box office is the three-day box office on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. These three days are the peak movie viewing times, and the box office is much higher than Monday to Thursday.

The box office in the first weekend is usually the highest, and it is more important, because many people will decide whether to watch the movie based on the box office in the first weekend and the reputation of the release.

An $80 opening weekend basically equates to a movie hitting the street.

It's over, it's more fluttering than "Golden Armor", so it won't be laughed at.

Qin Muchu thought to himself.

Last year, Lao Mouzi's "Golden Armor" called out the slogan of attacking North America and conquering Hollywood, but the box office in North America was only more than 600 million US dollars, which was ridiculed by the media.

But he didn't shout slogans, so he shouldn't be laughed at.

Putting the matter of the movie behind him, Qin Muchu remembered something again, and his expression became serious:

"Are the materials and money donated ready?"

Hearing Qin Muchu's question about this, Zhao Mingyu also became serious:
"I was just about to report to you that more than 200 heavy-duty trucks have been hired to deliver the supplies... This is the manifest for the supplies."

As he spoke, Zhao Mingyu took out a dozen sheets from the folder and handed them to Qin Muchu.

Qin Muchu took the list and browsed it one by one.

Most of the list is food, such as instant noodles, bread, water, and some heating and lighting machines, and there are warm clothes such as tents, quilts, and cotton jackets.

Zhao Mingyu continued:
"The money is also ready. According to your request, we have arranged auditors to supervise the site, and we can find out the whereabouts of every penny."

Qin Muchu nodded when he heard the words,
"Pay more attention, and continue to buy supplies. Ship them there, and don't be afraid to spend money."

"Ah."

Zhao Mingyu nodded, looking at Qin Muchu with complicated eyes.

The materials and money donated by Qin Muchu are not a small number.

More than 3000 million to nearly 4000 million was spent on materials alone, and the money was about the same.

Counting the cost of manual transportation, it cost more than [-] million yuan.

Putting down the material list, Qin Muchu noticed that Zhao Mingyu's expression was a little off, wondering if it was difficult to spend such a large amount of money.

But all his money has been invested in "Iron Man", and the donation can only be made by the company, so he can't help frowning:

"Why, isn't the company short of cash?"

"No, it's enough, but it's almost spent. If we continue to donate in the future, it may be difficult to implement some of the company's development plans next year." Zhao Mingyu said.

Qin Muchu breathed a sigh of relief:
"This matter is the main thing, and the plan is postponed."

"Ah."

"If it's okay, I'll go."

Qin Muchu picked up the clothes on the chair and was about to run away, but suddenly he stopped again and looked at Zhao Mingyu:

"Take a look at the employees whose hometowns are in the disaster-stricken provinces in the south. If they can't go back this year during the Chinese New Year, they will give out more year-end bonuses."

"understood."

Qin Muchu thought for a while that there should be nothing missing, so he was ready to go out.

Suddenly there was a call from behind.

"Director Qin."

Qin Muchu turned his head and looked at Zhao Mingyu.

"What else?"

Zhao Mingyu shook his head, a smile appeared on Wannian's cold face, and he said:
"Brilliant."

Qin Muchu was stunned.

This domineering female CEO can actually say "Awesome".

Soon understanding what she was talking about, she shook her head with a smile and opened the door...

……

After leaving the company, he drove out of the parking lot.

The city of Yanjing is covered with silver, and it is all white.

The snow on the road has been cleared by sanitation workers and does not affect traffic.

Qin Muchu was driving on the road and turned on the wipers.

The sky is snowing again.

In Yanjing City, snow fell on the 17th, and there was a thick layer of snow on the ground on the morning of the 18th, and the cheers of children came from the gate of the courtyard.

However, the southern provinces have been suffering from blizzard for more than half a month, and it finally caused a snow disaster.

At present, it is only the first signs, but several provincial power systems have been paralyzed, and hundreds of towns have lost power in winter.

There is no heating in the south, and the air conditioner cannot be turned on if the power is cut off, so we have to fight the cold winter.

It would be okay in normal times, but the winter in the south this year is extremely cold.

Not to mention that power outages can cause other life problems.

Moreover, many highways and railway networks in the south have been paralyzed, many people are stranded on trains and highways, and there is a serious shortage of survival materials.

And the heavy snow has no intention of stopping at all, which means that this snow disaster has just begun, and it will be more serious in the future.

……

Without a word all the way, I drove back to the courtyard.

There are still a few snowmen standing in the alley, which child probably made them.

Qin Muchu was a little annoyed watching it, thinking about kicking it, but in the end he didn't do that.

Snowmen are right, and kids are just having fun making snowmen.

It's definitely not because of the cameras installed at the door of that house.

When we arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the gate was actually open.

Qin Muchu walked into the yard, then into his own room, and saw Jiang Wen sitting on the sofa.

Jiang Wen was reading the newspaper when he heard the movement and turned his head to look at the door.

"Where did it go?"

After a pause, a nasty smile suddenly appeared on his face:
"Going chic again? With whom? Three together?"

"Crowd gatherings are against the law."

Qin Muchu rolled his eyes, patted the snowflakes on his clothes outside the door, closed the door and hung the clothes on the hanger.

"Go to the company."

It's okay not to say, Jiang Wen was even more surprised when he said this.

"Yo? The sun is out in the west? Can you still go to work?"

Jiang Wen knew Qin Muchu's peeing nature very well, this guy was completely a hands-off shopkeeper, and he didn't go to the company several times a year.

Qin Muchu walked to the table, picked up the water glass and poured himself a cup of hot water to drink to warm his body.

"The company held an annual meeting and recruited many new department heads. Let me get to know each other in the past."

"I said, no wonder you go to the company."

Jiang Wen put down the newspaper and patted the coffee table:

"Come, come and have a look."

It was only then that Qin Muchu noticed that there was a thick stack of documents on the coffee table.

Going to the side, picked up the top copy, and flipped through:
"What is this?"

"The house I picked for you."

Jiang Wen laughed and said,

"Didn't I tell you to buy a house before? I found some friends. These are the best houses in Yanjing City. The security system is good, and the people living around are either rich or expensive.

Paparazzi will definitely not be able to enter, it is very suitable for you. "

Qin Muchu didn't expect Jiang Wen to be so efficient. He said this last time, and he found so many suitable houses in just half a month.

It is estimated that there are many connections.

"There are furnished ones, and you can live in after buying them. There are also undecorated ones, you can decorate them yourself according to the style you like.

These are in the south of the city, these are in the east of the city, and this one is next to the Forbidden City... The one in your hand is from Wangfujing. "

As Jiang Wen spoke, he divided the documents into several stacks.

Qin Muchu was a little touched. The **** looks like he knows it like the back of his hand, probably because he has read every document carefully.

He looked at the documents in his hand, took a few more from the coffee table, and flipped through them.

Not only the size of the house is written in the document, but also the internal and external pictures of the house are attached, which is very good.

But he still put down the document in his hand, and said apologetically:
"Father, let's take a while about the house."

Jiang Wen froze for a moment, then seemed to understand something.

"In ancient times, men had three wives and four concubines, although they don't pay attention to this anymore, but there are still many powerful people who do this.

You like them, they like you, you love me.Even if you don't use this house now, you will always use it in the future. "

Seeing that Jiang Wen had misunderstood, Qin Muchu smiled wryly and shook his head:
"It's not for this reason... that... I have no money."
